No rides at all, yet France's second-most-visited park has no queues worth managing — just staggeringly ambitious live shows: Roman chariot races in a full-size amphitheatre, Viking longships bursting out of the water, falconry with hundreds of birds swirling overhead.

Book the evening Cinéscénie ahead — the night spectacular with thousands of performers sells out months in advance.
